With an outstanding debt of over
one thousand millions, on which the
people are taxed 44,63S,466 yearly
for interest payments, we would SUBJ
init the simple question:
Is it just to the people to keep, year
in and year out $685., 100000 locked
up in the treasury, drawing no inter-
est and doing no goodP
Since the issue Of our circular of
June 16th-"What Use Shall the
Government Make of its Surplus. p
we have received hundreds of news
papers and communication from all
parts of the land ON this subject, all
showing deep interest and concern
over the Treasury surplus. BY far
the larger majority think as we 90,
that the sooner the rebellion" debt is
cleared out, bought up, paid off and
forgotten, the better for the whole
country.
1t would be far better for the coun-
try if $3.50, 100000 of this money was
Immediately used to reduce the in
terest- bearing debt, even if the Gov
eminent made MOTH ing by it; but it
can not only reduce the debt but save
millions in future interest payments
by doing so. Truly,

We say truly that we did not know
that our weak effusion in last Tues

in IL to raise such howl as that
from a Republican. BY the way, the

take a few lessons in spelling.

al Bank notes will all come in, and 1t
is more than likely that 8 to 5 per
cent will never be presented.
Should this money lie idle all these
years2 lit must, then there is some
defect in the National Banking Law
which ought to be corrected.
Why Congress should have put il
in the power of the National Banks
to use the Treasury in this way is a
serious question.
Ofthe balance of this vast sum
there is retained to meet past due
Bonds, Disbursing Officers drafts, p,
o. Department accounts and divers
appropriations, nearly seventy million
dollars, just as if the Treasury was
not receiving from the people every
month upwards oftwenty-five million
dollars to meet all these things.
For all the above the Treasury De.
partment may set up valid excuse
but, if so, the next Congress should
see that something is done to utilize
as large part of this $270,OO0,OOO as
is consistent and safe.
Still remaining is $70,000000 fol

The Election.

General Apathy, that enemy 10
Democratic majorities, got in his
best work in this county Monday.
The Republicans were also affected
with the same disorder, but they did
such effective work in the city, by re-
sorting TO their usual methods of in
fluencing, voters that they succeeded
ia increasing their majority 150 votes
In the county. The total Republican
vote was 2,644, loss OF ia from the
Blaine vote, and the Democratic vote
was 1908, loss of 303. 1t will there
fore be Geen that the increased ma
jority was not due to a largo vote,
but to the apathy of Democrats who
did not go the polls. In the city there
WAS absolutely no work done by
Democrats for their ticket, with a
few exceptions. The politicians and
Democratic office-hOlders refrained
from working at the polls and 200
Democrats in the city did not vote
The Republican ffice-holders and
other party leaders were hard at work
all day and succeeded in increasing
their majority 26 votes in the two
precincts. They experienced great
difficulty, however, in getting out
the vote until barrel was tapped In
the rear of the court house. Whisky
flowed freely all the afternoon and
by night large proportion of the
faithful were too drunk to feel the
earthquake few hours later. A
drunken negro was stretched out in
the porch of the court house Tuesday
morning, having fallen gallantly
fighting for the cause he loved. The
vote in the country, especially in the
Democratic precincts, was very light
and as might have been expected the
whole Democratic ticket fell 1000
votes short Of the vote given Grace
last year. As for Mr.. Young, he
made a better race than any other
man OIL the ticket, getting 81 more
votes than Bnckner. Apathy, treach-
cry, mendacity, booze and Doodle all
contributed to his defeat, but in spite
of the fierce fight made upon him by
the whisky men, he received more
than enough votes from the Labor
party to make up his losses from his
own party. The whisky Democrats
nearly all voted for Lunsford, claim
ing that they had his pledge to re-
submit the prohibition question. On
the other hand the Prohibition Re
publicans were run in early and
voted for him, claiming that they had
positive assurances that he would lei
the present law alone.
One Of the novel features of the
election was TO see colored men vot-
ing against the Republican ticket.
Quite number of them voted the
Union Labor ticket straight.
The Republicans are much elated
over the result in the county, but the
victory they have won is not the re-
suit of party gains, but of Democrat.
ic Indifference. There is at least one
lesson they have had an opportunity
to learn by the election. The colored

A Case Of Deafness Cured.

ONCE of shaw n Baldwin, Wholpsale NO-l
ton House. Toledo, o., Dec. II, 1873.
FL Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, o dear Sirs;
About tnree months ago, noticing letter
addressed 10 you in the Bee from Gen. Slevin.
in reference 10 the cure OF his son by the use
Of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were induced to
commence the use OF IL for our daughter
Nellie now fourteen years old, who has been
suffering from catarrh for about eight yeAra,
during which time she has been treated by
one OF the best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use OF almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no more
success than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth open
to keep her from strangling. Her hearing
had also became affected. We were afraid
that she would never recover. We have
now used six bottles OF HALL's CATARRH
CURE. and we believe Nellie TO be entirely
cured. In few days after commencing the
use OF IL we noticed decided change for the
better, and from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she breathes as easily as
any one. She sleeps well and her hearing Is
perfectly good, We feel that the disease is
entirely removed We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that it is due you, and with
the hope that others may be benefited in like
manner. We can hardly realize that such u
change could be effected In so short time
after battling with the disease so long. We
are still using the remedy at intervals, as 1t
seems to build up her system. You are at
liberty to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are ours, truly,
MIR. and MRS. 8. BALDWIN,
